Step 1: Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.

Step 2: While the quinoa is cooking, in a bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and half of the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and let marinate for 10 minutes.
3.
Step 3: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.
4.
Step 4: When the quinoa is done, fluff with a fork and stir in coconut milk, lime zest, remaining lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
5.
Step 5: Serve the grilled shrimp over the lime and coconut quinoa. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
